while on their way to HObOken, n. j., this
morning, to take the Bremen steamship
Trave, were assaulted by a gang OF the coal
strikers mt the corner Of Grove and Eigh-
teenth streets. Three of the party were
severely injured and one of the men was so
badly hurt that he may not recover. They
were evidently taken by the strikers for
''scabs," as the assault was unprOvOked.
The injured men are Adam Tarizz, Andrew
Ardan and George BarnO. Tarizz and Ar
dan were cut about the head and face and
were taken to the HObOkcn police head
quarters where their wounds were dressed.
BarnO had one OF his eyes gouged out and
his skull is thought to be fractured. He
WAS taken to the jersey City Hospital
The Poles, consisting of six or eight men,
arrived ut midnight on the Pennsylvania
road.
The situation in the coal strike i'll Jersey
City, Hoboken and Weehawken is un-
changed. AtPort Johnston, Bergen Point,
forty more United States Narshals were
sworn in to protect the coal handlers. The
strikers are peaceful and quiet, and very
few are seen on the streets. The strikers
at Weehawken dumped five cars OF coal
standing on the south track in the Erie
railroad yards, between II and O'Clock
this morning.
The Lorillard strikers were in session ut
the brush factory this morning discussing
a scheme to compel the firm to concede

CRAZED BY THE EARTHQUAKES.
Wild Man Found Wandering About In
the North Carolina Mountains

the North Carolina Mountains
WeLF CREEK, Tenn, January 26.-
George Caldwell, while bear hunting a
few days ago on Balsam mountain, one Of
the highest mountains in North Carolina,
ditcoyered a man almost naked, wandering
aimlessly around in the snow, which was
nearly two feet deep, and eight miles from
the nearest habitation. On seeing Cald-
well he started 10 run, but was easily
oyertaken and captured. His clothing
was found To consist of flannel under
shirt, which was torn into shreds, and
one shoe. His feet were frost-bitten and
his legs fearrully scratched by
briars He is veritable living skeleton.
All efforts TO get him TO tell his name or
give any intelligent account of himself have
so far failed. When spoken to he becomes
violent, tries TO get away, and talks deliri-
ously about being a fireman on an engine
in Charleston when the big shake came. 1t
is with difficulty he can be made to take
nourshment. 1t is supposed he was crazed
by the earthquake shock of August 81,
and wandered TO the mountains, but how
he has lived this long is mystery. Cald-
we'll will take steps to restore him TO his
friends.

WASHINGTON, January ga special

ate bill refusing admission of Canadian YES
sells to American ports Chairman Bel
mont does not believe the bill will he re-
ported back to the House this week, and
thinks it will he amended by the commit

talk of amending the bill so rs TO direct
the President to refuse admission to Cana
dian vessels, instead of leaving it to his
discretion. The measure will beyond a
reasonable doubt be taken up in the House
next week.
The granting of leave to the committee
to report at any time, required unanimous
consent, although there was no desire on
the part of any member to make an OBJ
lection. Under the order to report at any
time, the hill will have the right of way
in the House as soon as it has been passed
upon by the committee.

A DAGGER IN HIS HEART.
Shocking Tragedy i'm n Wine RoOm-The
Murderer Escapes.

Shocking Tragedy IN wine INooih-hho
Murderer Escapes.
CHICAGO, January 26-Early this morn
ing John Watts, well known character
about the docks, entered George Wilson's
liquor store, corner of South Water and
Clark streets, accompanied by male COM
panion and two women The quartette
entered wine room in the rear. Shortly
afterward three men entered the saloon,
one of whom had a badly bruised face and
eve. This one listened at the door OF the
wine room, and then, turning to his COM
panious, said: Now, I'm going to do
him." With that he drew a long dirk from
his pocket and stepped hastily to the wine
room door. Pushing it open, he saw John
Watts sitting with his back to him, and,
without word of warning, the murderer
bent over the unsuspecting mans shoulder
ane plunged the dagger up to the hit into
his heart Jerking his bloody weapon ont
he ran through the side door, followed by
his chums, and escaped.
Watts rolled from his chair with wine
glass still clutched between his fingers
and died in a few minutes His friend
left the saloon without waiting for deyel-
opments, but the women were taken by
the Harrison street patrol and locked IN
a cell in the Armory, where they are
PLAYING drunk and feigning entire igno-
rance Oft the murder.
Detectives have been detailed to capture
the man with black eye and his compan-
ions. 1t is believed they formed a con-
spiracy and followed the murdered man
with the intention of killing him. 1t is
stated that Watts had just returned from
ball where he had q quarrel with the
man who murdered him. The quarrel
was over a woman and Watts administered
thrashing to the, and the latter sought
revenge by following Watts and murder
ing him.

Interstate Commerce Bill.

WASHINGTON, January 26.-Thc Presi-
dent received the Interstate Commerce
bill last evening and referred it 10 the
Attorney General for examination. 1t is
not likely that the President will act upon
the bill much before the expiration of the
ten days period. A number Of applications
have already been received for appoint
ment on the Commission provided for in
the hill, but the President has not given
that particular subject serious oonsidera-
ton.
Representative Crisp, who has conferred
with the President on the subject, ex-
presses the opinion that the Interstate
Commerce bill will be promptly signed
and the commission appointed.

Eject ofthc War Rumors on British Trade.
MANCHESTER, ENG, January I.-The
Guardian. in its commercial article to-day,
says: The tone of the market is now lively.
Few sellers have made an average progress.
The rumors of war have influenced buyers
to exercise caution, especially those who
have been exporting yarn 10 the Continent.
The inquiry for India has improved.
China merchants are doing rather less in
shirtings for shipment grey, but some bust
Hess in finishing clothes has been done,
though often nj low prices. Producers do
not manifest IN anxiety TO sell, despite the
political disquietude. Those whose pro.
duction is we'll sold are indifferent
10 the slackncss of tho demand.
Much surprise is expressed AT
the comparative strength of cotton IN view
Of the large receipts at American ports,
the abundant stocks at Liverpool, spnners
full reserves, the large exports from the
United States, and the rumors Of war.
Export yarns are in little inquiry. China
merchants make low bids, which are rare
ly accepted. The present wants Of India
buyers are well satisfied. The Continental
demand IN stagnant, though merchants are
taking delivery freely towards previous
contracts. Home manufacturers are not
disposed TO purchase largr quantities The
cloth sections are inactive. China shirt
ings are firm, with small hu"urs. A
few moderate orders for India have been
executed. + cloths and MeXicans are
strong; the progress made Is moderate.

nov or any other man takes
advantage of his official station and priv
ileged prerogatiyeS to attack another per-
son upon what the Senator terms infor-
nation where no opportunity Is afforded
for reply, he does an unfair, ungenerous
and unmanly act, one out of harmony
with American love of fair play. II the
attack of the Senator was intended for
coercion or intimidation he has struck the

"How about his reference to the pres
ence of Federal officials here?"
'Well, came here in the exercise of my

cumbency of q public office becomes a
